Last-Night's Must-See Menswear: The Power of a T-Shirt and a Leather Jacket

Transitional dressing is never easy. Too many layers and you’re stuck sweating it out; too few and you’re left freezing all day. Take a tip from the three gents you see above who not only nail between season dressing, but do so in some covetable leather jackets. The key, however, isn’t just slipping some Italian calfskin on your back and calling it a day--it’s knowing how to wear that lu leather the right way. If you’re looking for the fail safe route, take a tip from these looks and go with a basic tee underneath. When it comes to jackets like these, you don’t want anything to detract from the detail and quality of your leather (or vegan equivalent) and having the most basic base layer underneath actually allows your outerwear to shine. And whether you’ve spend hours sourcing the finest crew neck in pima cotton or just rolled out of bed in one from college, the best part about this look is that either outcome is the same.
